The Law Society has decided to address the disparity between the number of graduating legal students and the number of training contracts available.  Law Society will launch a campaign to educate students at universities and secondary school about this disparity and the cost of legal schooling.  On one hand, this appears to be an act of kindness: spreading the facts of the hardship of becoming a lawyer at this moment.  On the other hand, some say this is an elitist act:  discouraging students from poorer families who would not be able to support them if the legal world does not.
